Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will provide an in-depth overview of our current knowledge regarding the factors affecting the perioperative course in gynecologic oncology patients, who often represent a difficult group in terms of perioperative management. Several interventions have been proposed in recent years for the optimization of variables in gynecologic oncology patients in order to help reduce perioperative morbidity rates.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, enhanced recovery protocols, novel techniques for the surgical management of gynecologic oncology patients, and novel aspects of immunonutrition, as well as predictive factors that may help in predicting disease course in these patients. This Special Issue will cover the management of patients with ovarian, endometrial, cervical, vulvar, and breast cancer. We seek contributions in the form of original research articles and reviews and invite leading experts to share their knowledge on the pathophysiology of perioperative recovery and the management of these patients.
